The mottled shadows of the trees rippled on the water, and a faint spring breeze brought up the catkins like snow, flying all over the sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe bright sunlight can break through the shadows of the apricot blossoms, and sprinkle a kiss like broken gold on Lian Youwan's face.

Calculate that even the days when Youwu entered the palace have been more than a month, and every day she has to learn various palace etiquette and affairs, and her life is hard and fulfilling, but she is also cautious. Therefore, in her spare time, she always likes to hide in the cold corner of this royal garden and enjoy the sunny spring alone.

"You're here! It's easy for me to find! A sweet voice came from behind. You Wan turned her head to look, and it turned out to be the palace maid Bitong who entered the palace with her. In the past month, the two have eaten and lived together, getting along day and night, and their relationship is naturally the best.

"It's nothing to do, be lazy here" Lian Youwu responded with a smile, "Is there anything wrong with being so anxious to find me?" ”

"The palace maid sister who usually delivers food to Lingyun Pavilion suddenly fell ill, so Aunt Yuzhi ordered the two of us to go to Lingyun Pavilion today. Let's go, it's too late, my aunt will be punished. Bitong urged anxiously.

Shuttling through the palace complex stacked like mountains, the ghost followed closely behind Bitong with a meal. Bitong has loved to follow the aunts of the Shanggong Bureau since she entered the palace, and she is much more familiar with the terrain of the palaces than Youwen. After walking for a while, the green branches and willows gradually decreased, the warm sun had long been hidden, and the scenery in front of me became more and more depressed, and even faintly revealed desolation.

Before leaving the dining room, Lian Youwan secretly glanced at the food sent to Lingyun Pavilion today, the dishes were extremely light and simple, which was very different from the exquisite meals in the usual palaces.

Located in a remote and cold location, and the meals are so coarse, could it be that Lingyun Pavilion is a cold palace?

"How do you get more and more secluded? What is Lingyun Pavilion? How come I've never heard of it? Youwu asked curiously.

"Don't you know Lingyun Pavilion? I don't know how you managed to be so deaf to what was going on in this palace. Bi Tong was surprised by Yu Wan's question, "Lingyun Pavilion is the sleeping palace of the proton of Yi Kingdom!" In fact, it is not so much a dormitory as a remote house under house arrest. ”

While Bi Tong was talking, the two had already arrived in front of the Lingyun Pavilion Palace. It turned out that Bitong's description of Lingyun Pavilion was not an exaggeration, what kind of palace was this, it was clearly a folk courtyard that seemed to have been vacant for a long time, and the simple Xiao Su looked so out of place in this luxurious palace.

Outside the palace gate, a father-in-law sat leaning against the door, dozing off with nothing to do. Hearing the sound, he saw the two little palace maids and asked, "Who is coming?" Looking at the noodles? The tone is yin and yang, and it is annoying.

"Back to my father-in-law, the two of us are new palace maids, and we are here to bring dinner to Lingyun Pavilion today." Bitong replied respectfully.

"Hmm. Just leave it at this door. The father-in-law said casually, and his eyes didn't even look at the two of them.

"Just at the door?" Yu Wan was so surprised that she blurted out, "Don't you have to bring the meal into the inner sanctum?" ”

Bitong immediately interrupted Youwu's recklessness, "Yes, yes, let's step back." His tone was full of apology and flattery, and he hurriedly left with his crossbow.

On the way back, Youwu couldn't help but confide in her stomach full of questions, "Who is this Yiguo Proton and why is he under house arrest here?" ”

Bitong can be said to be the gossip center among the new palace maids, smart and clever and able to observe words and feelings, and the most important thing is that she also knows how to abide by her duties, so she is very happy with the aunts of the palace bureau, and naturally knows more about the inner affairs of the palace than other new palace maids.

"I heard from the aunts that the three princes of Yi Kingdom are under house arrest in this Lingyun Pavilion. Yi and Qi are the most powerful countries today, and many years ago, the two countries fought each other all year round, and the people were struggling to make a living. Later, the two countries signed a truce agreement, and Yi promised Qi no longer to violate the border of Qi, and in order to show his sincerity, he sent the third prince of his country, who was only thirteen years old, to Qi State, as a proton, I think it has been seven or eight years. ”

Lian Youwan listened to the whole story, and sighed in her heart that she had lost her parents since she was a child, and she naturally felt the same way as what happened to the proton. "It's really pitiful to be away from your parents and relatives at a young age. Looking at the domineering appearance of the father-in-law just now, he would definitely not serve a captive like he served his master, and he must have suffered a lot over the years.

"You're still worried about others! The Gonggong Wu who was in charge of Lingyun Pavilion just now was the apprentice of Gonggong Jiang, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, so he was naturally superior, and I don't know if I offended him just now. You're going to be assigned to the Imperial Dining Room from tomorrow, and I'm going to report to the Treasure Room, and the chances of the two of us seeing each other are getting less and less, and if you are as reckless as you were just now, you may have to suffer something." Bitong kindly admonished.

Even Youwen's heart warmed, although Bitong's words were reproach, but the meaning of concern made Youwu not moved. As Bi Tong said, in this palace, the lives of palace maids and servants are as cheap and lowly as ants, and the slightest carelessness will cause trouble.

At night, the intricate arrangement of palaces and pavilions gives people a sense of oppression, and the red bricks and green tiles are all rendered into ink. Youwan groped all the way along the palace wall, trying to find a way out of the palace. These four high walls are like the most cold and merciless cages, and I don't know how many fragrances are locked.

Suddenly, there was a faint flute sound in the distance, and the sound seemed to be far away in the clouds and close to the ear, ethereal and ethereal.

Who would play the flute in such a remote corner of the palace at such a late hour?

Youwu was curious for a while, and followed the sound.

The closer I got, the more I was attracted by the clear and graceful sound of the flute, the tune was soothing and soft, like the warm breeze of early summer, gradually blowing away the deep cold and loneliness in this palace.

Walking under an apricot blossom tree, Lian Youwu finally found the person who played the pipe. Looking at the costume, it should be a man, wearing a cyan gown, simple and simple, and the green silk is pulled up at will with a wooden hairpin. The man's face was hidden in the night, and with the melodious sound of the flute, it was like a dream, but it was so unreal.

The sound of the flute stopped abruptly, and the man seemed to sense the arrival of the ghost, calmly turned around, and stepped into the quiet moonlight. By the moonlight, Yu Wan finally saw the man's appearance clearly. The slender and straight figure, the gestures are elegant and picturesque, the tenderness projected from the narrow eyes is like the rising sun, and the beautiful lips raise a smile, which is impressive. Even Youwan thinks that she has read books for a few years, but at this time there is only one word in her mind: handsome guy!

"Who are you? It's so late, how did you come here? The man spoke slowly, without the slightest hint of reproach in his tone, but sounded more concerned.

Youwu's cheeks flushed, annoyed by the panic she had just had, this person was not dressed like a eunuch or a guard, and the man who could move freely in this palace must be either rich or noble. (To be continued.) )
